Here goes:

I won't say Yes 6 months from now
Cast your net, as soon possible
To Kevin Spacey: Who won the sequel?
Play me once but skip the major
I'm not a Tesla. What am I?

Note that the grammar mistake is intentional.

Hint #1:

This question was created on March 19th

Hint #2

The first three lines each represent a letter (and maybe an extra symbol for one of them)

Hint #3

The third line represents a number (which in turn is represented by a letter)

Answer to the first line, my mistake with this puzzle

The first line is "A" - not "I"

    $\begingroup$ The capital letters rearrange to WIT PICKY WITS. I'm guessing this is not relevant ... $\endgroup$

Again, not an answer, but I wonder......

6 months from March 19th is September 19th. International talk like a pirate day. I won’t be saying ‘yes’ on that day - but ‘aye’. Perhaps I’m a pirate?

I can’t link the other clues though.

Not really an answer (yet), but to get some storms started in anyone's brains: Could it be that

Kevin Space-Y

and

Not a Tesla (so, another Elon Musk company)

yield an answer connected to

Space-X ?

Are you a

Buick?

I won't say yes 6 months from now

I'll say "Aye" (I) -long

Cast your net, as soon as possible

Cast your net into the sea, sharp! (C-sharp)

To Kevin Spacey: Who won the sequel?

I don't actually know what this refers to, but judging from Hint 2 I would assume the answer is "You" (U)

Play me once but skip the major

We're playing a musical scale that includes the note (B)

I'm not a Tesla,

I'm a BUIC

Aside:

Is the "sequel" a competitive event won by the UK?

  • $\begingroup$ You're getting close! For the first, line, this is my mistake - just take the first letter, I pronounce this incorrectly. I don't know why I didn't check that. facepalm. Your idea with the rot13(zhfvpny fpnyr) is in the right direction rot13(Gel cynlvat gur svefg guerr yvarf gbtrgure). @long Got close on one of the other lines in their answer $\endgroup$

I'm guessing:

Fall / Autumn

I note that March 19 is

The Vernal Equinox. (At least on the east coast of the U.S., and farther west. The author describes himself as Romanian-American, so that fits.)

And (clutching at straws)

a number of the clues could be seasonal references.

I think the answer is:

Jumanji

March 19 was a Thursday, et en Francais (France) c'est "Jeudi": The first character and the last character are the same.

Jumanji is a also video game, which means that you can play it.

    $\begingroup$ Hey Yuatu! No, this isn't the correct answer. Can you edit your answer with your logic for getting to this answer? What clues in the riddle did you figure out? $\endgroup$
